Metreau Keypads Instruction Manual
Wiring and Connections
Overview
Some models of Metreau keypads support both AxLink and SWT wiring configurations. Each is described in the following sub-
sections. For information on AxLink vs. SWT device addressing, refer to the
NOTE:
Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.
Ethernet Wiring
Metreau Keypads with Ethernet and Metreau Ethernet Expansion Keypads use standard category cabling to provide power to the
keypads. Applying power to the Metreau Keypads with Ethernet requires category cable and a PoE injector, such as the PS-POE-AF-
TC (
FG423-83
) available from AMX. The network must be connected through the PoE injector to send power to the keypad. The
category cable should only run through a common building. (A common building is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s)
are physically connected and the structure(s) share a single ground reference.)
Metreau Expansion Ethernet Keypads receive power from the Metreau Ethernet Keypad it is connected to via the 10-conductor
ribbon cable on the expansion keypad.
Each Metreau keypad has a green LINK/ACTIVE LED on its rear panel that lights when the link is up and toggles off when a data
packet is sent or received. Each Metreau keypad also has a green STATUS LED on its rear panel that is under firmware control.
The following table lists the modes and blink patterns for the LINK/ACT and STATUS LEDs on the Metreau keypads:
